I had trouble with pretty much every aspect of this game though. Might be good to list your controls in the game description. With a bit more work this could be a fun snooker game...  definitely doesn't fit the theme of the jam.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":944113,"author_name":"Alexander Tan","author_uid":"alexander-tan","epoch":1683020658,"text":"Hey this game taught me how to play snooker which is cool, love the vibe, voice acting and music.

Keep it up!\nBut I just realized.... I don't know anything about snooker, but making balls go plong is also fun. :D\nYou nailed the game feel!\nCould be improved by adjusting when holding and dragging the mouse, but other than that, no complaints here!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":944235,"author_name":"Flaterectomy","author_uid":"flaterectomy","epoch":1683021493,"text":"A relaxed little game of snooker! I noticed a few times that the trajectory-line didn't predict the direction of the ball very accurately, as it aimed directly at the hole but then the ball veered off to the side. That might have to do with spin, I don't have much experience with actual snooker. \n\nThe balls rolled to a stop *very* slowly a few times. A mechanic to hurry that along a little would be nice, keeps you playing instead of waiting.\n\nPersonally, I would've kept playing this a lot longer if there wasn't a 5-lives-maximum. If missing would just affect score instead, I could've enjoyed this game for quite a while!\n\nVisually everything is pretty clear, though the green and brown balls don't contrast much with the green of the table. The colors themselves look pretty *standard Unity palette*, a custom or more distinct color palette would've helped set things apart.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":961068,"author_name":"Chii","author_uid":"chii","epoch":1683166123,"text":"Brings back some ancient memories of playing snooker147 (is that what it was called?) more than 2 decades ago.

Graphics are a little wonky as you say yourself but it works quite well for this tbh; you don't need more for this kind of game. The one thing I found weird was how the game controlled. Unless it was a bug I couldn't hold and drag to aim the cue, I was only able to click and have it rotate instantly. Usually a game like this would let you control power by how long you hold the button or something, so setting it with a slider felt strange too. Definitely had a vibe too it and it was enjoyable just to play tho!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":982528,"author_name":"Apple Dash","author_uid":"apple-dash","epoch":1684452824,"text":"It sure is a snooker game.
